This is a great idea.

Yeah I agree, no way I want to dump all that TPE or just up and leave my team

I didn't mean to speak for everyone. I was trying to state that I'd be willing to go to that extreme if it meant fixing the problem.

Letting GMs BUILD their own bot o line also helps shape team identity, which is a fun concept.Shaping team identity is a very compelling argument to me. I’m fact it might be the highest for this particular solution

GM hand-crafted OL that can be updated at 25-50% TPE per week. I think 15-20 TPE per week is about max for just about everybody, 5-10 TPE a week on OL should work well to not have them be OP too fast but be better than carrying S1 inactives that have never updated.
As for what to do with current OL. If they want to stay OL, I say let them. Having a still active OL will be better than the bots regardless. Free position swaps should be necessary if we decide to make the position disappear, but I'd be happier with discounted.
At the very least, their starting archetypes need to be brought up to their DL counterparts. Tuck is a monster, but it shouldn't be possible to get 30 sacks in 14 games...
I've considered biting the bullet and position swapping myself to OL, not because I think it'd be fun, but because active OL are so hard to find that having a guaranteed active OL would be the best help to the team i can be.

I want to make clear to the HO that essentially 5 of the 7 most active offensive linemen in the league have commented on this post about eliminating the position. We obviously love this site and are very active, but want to change. What do you think about new people? I'm sure we've lost people who could be active.

For me it's not about wanting to change. I don't mind being a lineman, however I would not select this position again. It's about how the current number of linemen is untenable and we need to address that. If that means eliminating the position, so be it. I want this game to be good, and OL are making it worse.

I think having a system where the GM is responsible for updating the OL is a bad one. Then the teams that already get screwed by having bad GMs are going to get screwed in another way.
I also don't think we should take money from contracts that would go to real people to build fake bots.
